A Tribute to #NtozakeShange

Forever grateful for her guidance as a blk woman on the page. https://ift.tt/35z9FnG

“freedom is the way we walk that walk
talk that talk
gotta take that charred body out the ground
switch on the current to a new sound
to a new way of walkin’ a new way of talkin’
blues” — #NtozakeShange
